Death... and me
chapter-2155

*Tremble!*

Suddenly, the room shook violently, showing that whoever was attacking the reactor was already nearby.

Tanxan then moved to a table not far and tapped a few things on a device that could be found over it. Right after, some other device materialized on the table, which quickly entered Tanxan's Jelly body. "System, activate complete sensorial defense integration."

Rean, Roan, and Luan watched as that device suddenly grew many extremely thin threads that spread all inside Tanxan's body. The majority connected to his core, while the rest made his Jelly Body look somewhat metallic. 'That's quite a weird life form...' the twins thought for a moment as they looked at Tanxan.

"Hmph! I want to see who will stop my trip back to Lingan Universe," Tanxan muttered as he made his way out of the room. The device fused his own senses with all the cameras, sensors, and defense system weapons in the Dimensional Yin-Yang Reactor sector.

Roan looked at Luan for a moment. 'You should go back to the Dimensional Realm. If the enemies are Space-Time Realm cultivators, we might not be able to protect you.'

Yet, Luan quickly shook his head. 'Don't worry, Father. I have Uncle Rean's Light Element Gathering Bracelet. I can use the Light Bending Skill with it. Since Divine Sense doesn't go further than three meters in this Spaceship, I will not be found. It is even better since the rank of Corporal has released our own Divine Sense from the restriction, so I can use my eyes while staying hidden to help you if needed.'

Roan pondered for a second before nodding. 'You are more than cappable of taking your own decision. Since that's what you want, we will count on your help.'

Rean smiled at them from the side and quickly followed Tanxan. Roan and Luan did the same.

After hearing what the system said, it was obvious that the Dimensional Yin yang Reactor was the same thing that held their Universe Foundation Fragment. They just had to follow Tanxan, and they would find it.

At the end of the corridor, many holographic messages appeared in front of a door while scanning Taxan's body. -Major Tanxan Tanxin. Access Granted.-

The door then opened, showing a huge facility that was several tens of kilometers in size. However, the room seemed almost completely empty. Except, it wasn't. At the very center of the room, one could see a ball of Light and Dark Elements floating. It wasn't that big, though. Just a few meters in diameter. Nonetheless, they could see how it blasted Light and Dark Elements all around, which seemed to be captured by the walls of the room.

The most impressive thing was that Rean and Roan were able to see, for the first time, Yin and Yang energy with their naked eyes. They could control Yin and Yang Energies with ease as they could be considered the epitome of such powers, but they had never output so much of such energies to the point of being able to see them directly.

"What the hell is that?!" However, their surprise was quickly interrupted by Tanxan's sudden scream. "Why is there another Yin Yang Manipulation Core inside the Reactor?!"

"Manipulation Core?" Rean and Roan looked inside the ball of Light and Dark sphere, as well as Yin and Yang, with their Divine Senses. Sure enough, they quickly found their Universe Foundation Fragment. Even because the system was allowing them to feel its presence now that they were this close.

On its side, they could also see a fragment that released just as much Dark and Light Elemental power as their own fragment. That second fragment was glued to their Universe Foundation Fragment. It's just that it didn't fuse like their own fragments did in the past. Their own fragment fit each other perfectly in their imperfection, but that fragment couldn't do the same.

'So that's what the system meant with incompatible properties. The Dark and Light Elements, as well as the Yin and Yang Powers inside that thing, are indeed slightly different from our own Universe Fragment,' Rean said through their soul connection.

Roan nodded. 'I can see the instability in this thing. It is as if they are both fighting for dominance over the other. However, the Foreign Fragment seems a lot bigger than our own. The reason our fragment is still holding in this exchange is most likely because it is inside its own Universe, different from the foreign fragment.'

Luan then noticed something. 'That's quite a huge hole in the ceiling.'

Rean and Roan looked where Luan had pointed out. Sure enough, there was an enormous hole there, right above the sphere with the Fragments inside.

Naturally, Tanxan noticed the same thing. "Fuck! That second Manipulation Core broke straight through the Spaceship's walls." He then looked at Rean and Roan. Luan was also there, but he was hiding. It's just that Tanxan could see him with his Divine Sense and the ship's sensors. "Don't tell me that the item you came looking for is that second Manipulation Core."

The twins nodded. "That is indeed what we came after, senior Tanxan. However, we didn't know you called it Manipulation Core. Our Universe doesn't have the technology to use such a thing as this ship is doing. We just call it Universe Fragment."

"Shit!" Tanxan wasn't an idiot. He could also see that those two fragments didn't seem to like each other very much. "We need to separate them. That manipulation Core from your Universe is not compatible with our Spaceship's system. If this continues, forget about exploding while trying to jump out of this Universe, the explosion will happen on its own before I even activate the Dimensional Thrusters."

Rean couldn't help but ask. "Does that mean the invader that breached the defenses of this Sector 1B was our Frag... Manipulation Core?"

Tanxan nodded. "That's the one. The Spaceship is considering it a foreign object."

Luan couldn't wrap his head around it, though. "It doesn't make sense. Our core fell inside this ship millions of years ago. How come only now it attacked your Spaceship's Core, senior Tanxan?"

Tanxan was obviously just as puzzled. "I don't understand either. The only reason I can think of is that something held your Manipulation Core back until a few minutes ago."

*Zush, zush, zush, zush, zush, zush...*

Suddenly, several figures began to pop out of the hole in the ceiling, one after another. The twins didn't need to look twice to identify the newcomers. 'Seems like the guests we invited into the ship earlier also found their way here.'
